Images: Critically Ill Haitian Child Medevaced to Philadelphia

Five-year-old Betina Joseph opens her eyes briefly while being evacuated to Children's Hospital in Philadelphia by the Boston-based aid group Partners in Health from Port-au-Prince, Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010. Doctors skirted a bureaucratic logjam to save the life of Joseph, who developed tetanus from a small cut on her thigh, and two more critically ill children, victims of Haiti's earthquake, flying them to U.S. hospitals on a private jet to avoid a military suspension of medical evacuation flights.
